Sea conditions are variable (and with technology, forecasts are more accurate) however there are just those days when Cherry reef is working and its just not a good idea to swim there.. or the forecast swell is >4m ...on these days a more controlled swim is possible and the multiple routes have been mapped to ensure a swim will take place. The route will be confirmed at the briefing.
